NPR.org, May 6, 2008 · FBI agents on Tuesday raided the offices of Special Counsel Scott J. Bloch, who oversees protection for federal whistleblowers. The agents seized computers and shut down email service as part of an obstruction of justice probe, NPR has exclusively learned.
FBI agents also searched Bloch's home and a Special Counsel field office in Dallas. A grand jury in Washington issued subpoenas for several OSC employees, including Bloch, according to NPR sources who spoke on condition their names not be used.
Bloch, who has also been under investigation for allegedly retaliating against career employees and obstructing an investigation, was being questioned at his Washington, D.C. office on Tuesday morning, according to the NPR sources.
In OSC offices across the country, email access was shut down late Tuesday morning. Six FBI agents arrived at the Washington field office before noon. Within an hour, the number had grown to 20. The FBI agents seized several computers, including the one belonging to Bloch. Separately, other agents searched Bloch's home and a grand jury in Washington issued subpoenas for several OSC employees.

17. Holy Crap. Either this is a Mukasey cover-up or a strike-back

by employees who have been patient and waiting for 8 years.....
I wonder which FBI office/division authorized this...and if it's the federal grand jury coming out of D.C. then I have high hopes that we might just see some housecleaning worth watching.
Anybody know where Fitzgerald was today?

The truth will be revealed in 24 business hours. Until then, just sit tight, DUmmies.

The little goons will be sad to find out the White House is probably the source of the raid. The President and Counselor Bloch haven't seen eye to eye on many things.
In other words, DUmbasses, this isn't about the FBI getting *. It's about the FBI following *'s directives.

It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas, all around the world!

LOL! I wondered how long it would take the DUmmies. Bloch was discussed in our breaking news section yesterday. Dude's missing a few spark plugs.
